WATCH: “His sister’s b’day is in 3 weeks”- Fans react as Neymar gets injured ahead of UCL clash against Bayern Munich
Let's see how the Twitter community has reacted after Brazilian star Neymar Jr. was stretchered off due to injury during PSG's 4-3 victory over LOSC Lille.
Neymar Jr. stretchered off injured against Lille
PSG sensation Neymar Jr. suffered an injury blow yet again against league rivals LOSC Lille on Sunday (19 February 2023). The left-winger twisted his ankle during the second half of the Ligue 1 game at PSG’s home stadium Parc des Princes. Despite scoring the second goal for the club, Neymar failed to witness the end of the game as he was stretchered off the pitch.
The 31-year-old tried wiggling past the midfield when he suddenly twisted his right ankle and went down on the ground in pain. PSG’s medical team immediately arrived to attend to the star footballer. After a short inspection, PSG took the decision to call Neymar back as he was in no condition to continue. The Brazilian player has been very unfortunate with his injuries during his time in France.
As per reports from Le Parisien, Neymar Jr. will most likely miss PSG’s next game against arch-rivals Marseille. He will also most likely stay out of action for the Champions League second-leg fixture against Bayern Munich. The winger has taken a hit on the same ankle that he injured while playing for Brazil in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“Ney has sprained his ankle. We will see how serious it is. We don’t know yet. He is undergoing tests at the moment,” PSG boss Christopher Galtier reported to the French media after the match. Galtier also addressed Nuno Mendes’ injury as ‘not so serious’. The left-back was also forced out of the field in the first half of the same match.

Twitter reacts to Neymar Jr.’s ‘yearly’ injury situation
Neymar Jr. has been one of the unluckiest footballers in the world. He has had an injury-ridden career, as he has persistently missed a majority of the season almost every year at PSG. So persistent, that he has now become a laughingstock among football fans. Many football ‘conspiracy theorists’ believe that he is off to his ‘yearly’ vacation as his sister’s birthday is almost here.
Many would consider Neymar one of the biggest wasted footballing talents of this generation. The player received support from his teammate Kylian Mbappe, who also cleared the air of rumors surrounding his relationship with the Brazilian. Let us have a look at how the Twitter community responded:

PSG outbattled league rivals Lille in a tiring 4-3 comeback. Lionel Messi scored a late freekick to seal the three points for the Parisians, as the team celebrated without Neymar Jr. Kylian Mbappe also played a huge role in the win as he scored a brace to reach 15 league goals in just 20 games. Do you think he can carry the French side beyond the Bavarians in the second leg of the Champions League?
